Analysis of the Safety Profile of Commonly Used Procoagulants Using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System
Conclusions:Our analysis found that the rate of reports of death and MI were higher with rFVIIa than other procoagulants, while reports of ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage were more common with PCCs. rFVIIa has been associated with cardiovascular before, a finding reiterated by our study. There are notable limitations of this type of analysis, including the reliance on the accurate reporting of adverse events to the FDA, possibility of duplications of reports in the FAERS database, and the importance of not conflating correlation with causation as it relates to these events. The association between rFVIIa and in...

Replacing PT-INR Monitoring of Warfarin with Fiix-NR in Clinical Practice Reduces Thromboembolism without Increasing Bleeding Despite Reduced Number of Dose Adjustments
Conclusions: These results are in agreement with the results of the Fiix-trial and show that ignoring factor VII during VKA monitoring is safe and leads to reduction in thromboembolism without increasing bleeding. Although TTR was identical in both groups, the dose adjustment need was reduced possibly indicating that less anticoagulation variability in the Fiix-NR group explains reduced thromboembolism.FigureDisclosuresGudmundsdottir: Hart Biologicals Ltd: Consultancy, Patents & Royalties: Hart Biologicals Ltd is commercializing the Fiix-PT which will be ready for marketing in Europe in the beginning of year 2019 and p...

Efficacy and Safety of Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) for Direct Oral Anticoagulant Reversal: A Single Institutional Experience
ConclusionIn this cohort, 80% of pts demonstrated clinical stability/improvement of hemorrhage. All pts were able to undergo surgical procedures; however 17% required additional FFP to achieve hemostasis. Thromboembolism occurred in 12% of patients. No deaths could definitely be attributed to 4PCC; however, 30% of deaths could be attributable to the underlying hemorrhagic episode.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Timing of anticoagulation after recent ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Publication date: Available online 8 November 2018Source: The Lancet NeurologyAuthor(s): David J Seiffge, David J Werring, Maurizio Paciaroni, Jesse Dawson, Steven Warach, Truman J Milling, Stefan T Engelter, Urs Fischer, Bo NorrvingSummaryBackgroundAbout 13–26% of all acute ischaemic strokes are related to non-valvular atrial fibrillation, the most common cardiac arrhythmia globally. Deciding when to initiate oral anticoagulation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation is a longstanding, common, and unresolved clinical challenge. Although the risk of early recurrent ischaemic stroke is high in this population,...

Safety of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischaemic Stroke in Anticoagulated Patients Ineligible for Intravenous Thrombolysis
Conclusion: Mechanical thrombectomy appears to be safe and effective in anticoagulated patients ineligible for thrombolysis, with observed haemorrhage rates similar to those of patients not on anticoagulant therapy. However, further multicentre prospective studies are needed, due to the rising number of patients on warfarin and DOACs worldwide.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:193 –199

Neuroimaging and clinical outcomes of oral anticoagulant –associated intracerebral hemorrhage
ObjectiveWhether intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) associated with non –vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC‐ICH) has a better outcome compared to ICH associated with vitamin K antagonists (VKA‐ICH) is uncertain.MethodsWe performed a systematic review and individual patient data meta ‐analysis of cohort studies comparing clinical and radiological outcomes between NOAC‐ICH and VKA‐ICH patients. The primary outcome measure was 30‐day all‐cause mortality. All outcomes were assessed in multivariate regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, ICH location, and intraventricul ar hemorrhage extension.Results...

Rivaroxaban versus Warfarin in Patients with Mechanical Heart Valve: Rationale and Design of the RIWA Study
DiscussionWarfarin and similar VKAs are standard therapy for patients with an MHV. Even with the appropriate use of therapy, the incidence of thromboembolic events is high at 1 –4% per year. Furthermore, bleeding risk is significant, ranging from 2 to 9% per year. The new frontier to be overcome in relation to use of the new oral anticoagulants is undoubtedly in patients with MHV. A significant portion of people with MHV worldwide will benefit if noninferiority of these new agents is confirmed.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier:NCT03566303.

Effect of Variation in Published Stroke Rates on the Net Clinical Benefit of Anticoagulation for Atrial Fibrillation.
Conclusion: Variation in published AF stroke rates for patients not receiving anticoagulant therapy results in multifold variation in the net clinical benefit of anticoagulation. Guidelines should better reflect the uncertainty in current thresholds of stroke risk score for recommending anticoagulation. Primary Funding Source: None.

Spontaneous choroidal hemorrhage associated with novel oral anticoagulants: A report of two cases and literature review.
We describe two clinical cases of spontaneous choroidal hemorrhage in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban and dabigatran etexilate) for atrial fibrillation. These cases show that an ocular hemorrhagic risk exists with these drugs. Patients treated with DOAC should have the therapeutic dose adjusted based on creatinine clearance. Special monitoring should be performed in patients with age-related macular degeneration or with hypertension even though meta-analysis shows that the risk of intraocular bleeding is reduced by 22% compared with warfarin.

Real-world clinical evidence on rivaroxaban, dabigatran, and apixaban compared with vitamin K antagonists in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a systematic literature review.
Authors: Briere JB, Bowrin K, Coleman C, Fauchier L, Levy P, Folkerts K, Toumi M, Taieb V, Millier A, Wu O Abstract Introduction Several comparative real-world effectiveness studies on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been conducted, but an overview of the available evidence remains to be developed, which could provide a better understanding of the value of DOACs relative to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). Areas covered A systematic literature review was conducted on the available real-world evidence (RWE) of three DOACs (rivaroxaban, dabigatran, and apixaban) compared with VKAs (e.g. warfarin), in patients wi...

Appropriateness of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant dose in patients with atrial fibrillation in Israel: A population-based study
The non-vitamin K oral antagonists (NOACs) are at least as effective as warfarin in the prevention of stroke in non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and are associated with less intracranial hemorrhage. Many patients with NVAF inappropriately do not receive anticoagulants often because of the inconvenience associated with warfarin administration. NOACs have the potential to increase anticoagulation use because they are safer and easier to administer than warfarin. Indeed, the use of anticoagulation in patients with newly diagnosed AF in many countries is increasing as a result of the use of NOACs in preference to warfarin [1].

Safety of Recanalization Therapy in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Under Anticoagulation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Intravenous thrombolysis treatment (IVT) and endovascular therapy (EVT) have been proved as fist-line beneficial option for eligible patients who have acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with major safety concern of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). Unfortunately, the emergency management of patients with AIS taking vitamin K antagonists and with international normalized ratio  higher than 1.7 or taking new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) represents a great challenge. We aim to comprehensively determine the safety of EVT in patients under prior-stroke anticoagulants and IVT in patients under NOAC use.

Cerebral microbleeds and intracranial haemorrhage risk in patients anticoagulated for atrial fibrillation after acute ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (CROMIS-2): a multicentre observational cohort study
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02513316.FindingsBetween Aug 4, 2011, and July 31, 2015, we recruited 1490 participants of whom follow-up data were available for 1447 (97%), over a mean period of 850 days (SD 373; 3366 patient-years). The symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage rate in patients with cerebral microbleeds was 9·8 per 1000 patient-years (95% CI 4·0–20·3) compared with 2·6 per 1000 patient-years (95% CI 1·1–5·4) in those without cerebral microbleeds (adjusted hazard ratio 3·67, 95% CI 1·27–10·60). Compared with the HAS-BLED score alone (C-index 0·41, 95% CI 0·29–0·5...
